Chronicle Toward Books Tins

If you’re anything like me (and I suppose you probably are - I mean, we’re both into books, right?) you look at the bargain bin at your local supermarket with mistrust. Questions may start to pop into your head upon glimpsing this oddest of grocery store curiosities:

“Why are all those things in there? Baby food AND cologne on the same shelf? They shouldn’t be that close. An what’s with that bag of off-brand Oreos? They look fine … I wonder what’s wrong with them?”

But these are just passing thoughts. Likely, you continue on with your shopping and don’t think about it much more. Well, if you’re anything like Fergal Bamfield, your preoccupation doesn’t end there.

Fergal collects a specific type of can. Label-less. To him, the bargain bin might as well have a sign over it that says “Coolest and Most Interesting Products in the Store Found Here”. The idea of buying bare cans appealed to his adventurous, risk-taking side that had been unattended to. That is, if you consider buying a tin can risky. After his collection begins to grow, Mr. and Mrs. Bamfield begin to worry about Fergal’s alarmingly all-consuming hobby. Maybe they’re right. Exhibit A? The contents of a recently opened can: one human finger.

Talk about a conversation-starter. Only, Fergal doesn’t really have any friends to conversate with. And he definitely does not want to bring this topic up with his parents, who already think he’s slowly going crazy with his can obsession. As thoughts of how, why, and who fill his mind, our hero meets someone who shares his hobby.

However impossible, Charlotte loves cans just as much as Fergal. And, oh yeah, she also has a gruesome souvenir to share. Together they uncover a mystery that has been shipped piece by piece to a bargain bin near you.

I’m not sure that this is a title that youngsters will be clamoring for, but for a kid who appreciates the off-beat, a solid selection.

Solid, enjoyable mystery that gets quite grisly at the end, which I could see leading to interesting parent child conversation. Loses a star for me because all of the adults are terrible.

I found it so INTERESTING!! 👏I enjoyed the storyline even though Im hoping that Mr and Mrs Dimble-Smith had been caught up by the police but the ending in the mixer was much more satisfying. Kudos to the writer for bringing suspenses, enjoyment, sadness, relief and some other emotions that I could not describe more. 💯If only the parents belief in them maybe things will get easier. I literally cry and scream alone by myself Why wouldnt you trust your child?! when Im reading this. 😭All the opening

it was very exciting and interesting i liked it a lot

Interesting concept of a boy who starts collecting cans in order to preserve his reputation as a quirky genius... and then finds more than he bargained for when he discovers an (view spoiler)[earring and then a finger. Eww. (hide spoiler)] It was at this point that the story started to take a turn that felt all wrong tonally... the book started feeling like it was going to be a coming-of-age story, a bit tongue in cheek and a bit of adventure, and then this macabre twist comes out of nowhere,

Snappy, quick British read which would appeal to those who love books like Millions, by Frank Cottrell Boyce. Here, Fergal is an odd sort who stumbles upon an interesting hobby--collecting cans--which leads to an interesting chain of events including meeting a girl, Charlotte, with a similarly unique interest in cans. If you read this, you'll never look at cans without labels in quite the same way...

Read for school under UK title, Tins. An odd but humourous novel for young readers. The lead character Fergal is simultaneously relatable and alienating in this quirky story.
